FAVOR ANNEXATION.
Dominion Statesmen Express Thel
 selves as Advocating it.

Great excitement has been caused in politi- cal circles at Ottawa over the statement that the Hon. John Ellis, member of the Dominion parliament, had announced his intention of coming out squarely as an advocate of annex ation to the United States, while many quiet hints have been thrown out to show which way the wind is blowing. No one has, until now as a member of the Canadian parliament, dared to advocate separation from the British empire.
 In an editorial in his own paper, Mir. Ellis invites MT. Chamberlain's attention to annex ation as being the simplest way to settle the fisheries troubles, and declares that both coun- tries would be strengthened by the union.
 In view of the apparent collapse of the fish cry commission several other members of par lament, including the Hon. A. G. Jones' of Halifax, it is understood, will come out openly in the coming session of parliament, not alone in favor of commercial union, but ill advocacy of annexation to the United States.
 The public men from the maritime prov inces are not disposed to press this issue against any openly expressed views of the crown, but they recognize tho fact that these provinces, geographically, ought to be part of the United States, and they contend that no permanent remedy for commercial friction can be found outside of annexation. This would at once and forever settle the commercial questions continually coming up.
 MT. Ellis disclams any desire to force any rupture in the relations with Great Britain, but ho believes, as nearly all the maritime lea iers do, that the English Government would not be obstinate to hold the provinces if they wanted to go, and if she found no other way to quiet their trade disturbances.

MIR. IVES ARRESTED.
A Criminal Charge at Last Brought
 Against Him.

Young Napoleon Henry S. Ives, whose firm failed so panoranically for dozen or fifteen millions, soon after it didn't bay the B. and C. Railroad has brought up in a New TX po lice court on the charge of theft. Certain per Sons who had the misfortune of his acquain- tance had been trying for weeks to bring criminal complaint to bear on him. They wanted to get him in licted but the district attorney told them that the regular way would be to get warrant for him, unl they got one, charging Ives with stealing S10o,000. The extreme penalty for that offence is ten years in State prison.
 Ives says this in explanation: s'The direct ors of the Cincinnati, Hamilton x Dayton road authorized the pu chase Of a coutrollin, interest in the Nandalia line for Sl0O0,O0o. As Nice-Presilent of the road and a member of the firm authorized to act as its fiscal agents, 1 was deputed to go to Terre Haute and complete the transaction. The exact amount to be paid cash down had not been fixed. 1 took along S9S9, ,500. I got the cash payment reduced to SSS9, 800, and on that ba- sis the trade was made. 1 had left over one SlW.0oO draft. To have done any other thing with it than what did do would have been larceny. 1 carried it back to New York and delivered it to the President of the C., II. S D. road Mir. Stayner The President deposit- ed 1t with Ives .S Co.,, the authorized agents of the road. Of course, l had to endorse it, b = cause it had been endorsed over to mo.
